Finally, Phil and Jake dedicate at least an hour and a half on the “LOTR” Audiobooks that Phil made from 2010 to 2013 with Riccardo Ricobello with a really awesome voice, who took it upon himself to use Phil’s audio mixes to record his Italian-translation version of the audiobook/drama hybrid. This might have been long-expected, but it will definitely not be the last about those strange audiobooks Phil started.
